This last weekend I had the opportunity to go shoot the Nascar race at Bristol Motor Speedway. Particularly the Food City 500 and Scotts Turf Builder 300. It’s not often I shoot this type of photography, and it’s my first time shooting a sports event. I have to say, I really enjoyed it. Over twelve hundred photos over a two day period. Here’s a small handful of my favorites.
And a few more after the jump…
Early on in the “Saints” series I sketched a piece out I called ‘Nurses’. As time went on it evolved out of the “Saints” series into it’s own standalone piece. Along the way I tried in every way to find the right set where I could build it out as it was in my head. While I was unable to find a location, other than my studio, I was able to find a spot with the exact table I was looking for. So, there was only one thing to do at that point. Composite everything else into the shot. After a bit of work, I’ve landed on the final shot. Now it’s on to some new “Saints” pieces.
Hello 2010. Glad you’re here. For the last year I have been working on a new photography collection called Spiritus Obscura. Much of the time has been spent experimenting with lighting and process. I finally feel, as 2009 closed, that I’ve found a groove. So now, in 2010 I am putting much focus on this set and working on talking with publishers as my hope is to publish volume 1 this year. These photos represent only a tiny handful of what has been shot, but what is to be expected in the book. Here’s the description, or artists statement if you will, of what I hope to represent and accomplish with the collection. (warning: some images contain nudity. must be 18, or older, to view)
